So, what the heck happened to me? I’m still alive and kicking. Thanks so much to the concerned listeners who checked in on me!!! Life just got in the way a bit there. I’ve still got plenty to talk about in my head, though, so I’ll be delivering up some new shows soon. Thanks for your patience

Episode #9 – chit chat and a guest appearance

I took a break from the frugal quilting series because I wanted to release something. We’ve been super busy trying to get our house ready to put up for sale. I know – it’s not a great time to sell but our circumstances don’t care about the timing! The Husband makes a (surprise) guest appearance.

I mentioned 4 books in this episode:

The Civil War Love Letter Quilt by Rosemary Youngs
The Quilter’s Catalog – a comprehensive resource guide by Meg Cox
Material Obsession – Modern quilts with traditional roots by Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke
American Quilts and Coverlets in the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Amelia Peck

I finished a Round Robin round – applique! I do have a picture of it but of course I haven’t downloaded it from the camera which is AWOL somewhere in the bowels of or house. (update: found the camera!)

Me & the latest addition to someone else's robin

I’ll be at the NQA show June 19th. Stop me and say hello if you go!

Episode 2 – a year of goals & NQA

Episode number 2 – goals and NQA

As mentioned in the show, I have one goal for the podcast: twenty fifteen minute episodes in 2009. Can I do it? We’ll see! 1 down, 19 to go.

My personal quilting goals – I have four goals for the year. Complete a guild crayon challenge quilt, complete a guild round robin (top only), complete 6 blocks from my hand pieced project – the Sunburst blocks from the Christmas in July project of the August 2007 Quilter’s Newsletter, and complete the Moulin Rouge quilt from the book Quick Colorful Quilts for The Boy.

I am a member of NQA and I spent some time talking about the benefits of membership & the SHOW!! I can’t wait for the show, June 18-20, 2009. I will be attending at least one day this year. I hope to see you there
